である。[0003] Persons with abnormal blood glucose levels are medically required to regularly self-monitor their blood glucose levels. Abnormal blood glucose levels occur for a variety of reasons, including diseases such as diabetes. The purpose of monitoring the blood glucose level is to measure the blood glucose level and then take corrective action based on whether the level is too high or too low to bring the level back into the normal range. . Failure to take corrective action can lead to serious consequences. If the blood glucose level is too low (a condition known as hypoglycemia), it can become nervous, shivering, and confusional. The person's judgment is impaired, and eventually they faint. If the blood glucose level is too high (a condition known as hyperglycemia), it can be very severe. Both hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia are potentially life-threatening emergencies.

To test blood glucose levels using a test device, a blood drop is collected from a fingertip using a lancing device. A typical lancing device includes a lancing needle for lancing the skin. These lancing devices include a lance
Some do not have a means to adjust the penetration depth. These lancing devices cannot adapt to different skin thicknesses that affect the amount of blood that can be drawn.

These are cumbersome to adjust and degrade quickly. Other adjustable lancing devices have a large number of components, resulting in high costs and complicated adjustment procedures.

It consists only of a base cap and a twist cap.
Because there are fewer parts than the prior art adjustable lancing device, costs are reduced and the assembly and use of the end cap of the present invention is simplified. The base cap includes a central post to which the twist cap is attached. When actuated, the lance of the lancing device extends through the base cap, travels the distance between the base cap and the twist cap, and exits through the twist cap and beyond the twist cap. The end of the twist cap is the portion of the end cap that is pressed against the skin of the person whose blood is drawn. The twist cap includes a spiral outer track into which fingers on the base cap enter. To adjust the end cap, the user need only twist or turn the twist cap, and the interaction of the fingers with the spiral track moves the twist cap relative to the base cap. The distance the lance of the lancing device projects beyond the base cap is constant. Thus, by adjusting the distance between the base cap and the twist cap by twisting the base cap, the distance the lance exits the twist cap and enters the user's finger is adjusted. As a result, a user of the puncture device having the end cap of the present invention can easily adjust the penetration depth of the lance simply by turning or twisting the end cap.
When turning the twist cap, there is a stop step that the user can know tactilely and audibly. These stop steps correspond to different penetration depths and are provided by a clasp on the center post of the base cap and a clasp slot inside the twist cap.

The puncturing apparatus 100 is the same as the known puncturing apparatus 100 in that it includes a button 22 for firing the driving mechanism and the puncturing mechanism housed in the puncturing apparatus 100. However, puncturing device 10 differs from known puncturing device 100 in that it does not require a number of different sized end caps to change the penetration depth of the lance. Instead, the lancing device 10 includes an adjustable end cap 18 that can be quickly and easily adjusted to obtain multiple lance penetration depths.

The top 28 has an opening 30 through which the lance is driven to pass when the button 22 is pressed. By changing the position of the top 28 with respect to the base cap 24, the distance that the lance exits the twist cap 26 and thus the depth of penetration of the lance can be adjusted.

Provide a gripping surface that allows for turning. The twist cap 26 also includes an indicator line 52 that indicates a different portion of the scale 38 as the twist cap 26 is turned, thereby indicating the lance penetration depth of the twist cap 26 at that location.

62, 64 and 66 are formed. When the twist cap 26 is put on the column 40 and turned, the catch 4
6 and 48 snap into slots 58, 60, 62, 64 and 66 to indicate to the user the particular penetration depth of the lance. In the embodiment shown, the scale 38 includes a first symbol 38a in the form of a large drop and a second symbol 38b in the form of a smaller drop. First symbol 38a and second symbol 3
8b, there are five point scales 38c. These point scales 38c correspond to specific penetration depths varying from "shallow" (point scale 38c closest to the small drop scale 38b) to "deep" (point scale 38c closest to the large drop scale 38a). I do. By twisting the twist cap, the index line 52 is set to a point scale 3 corresponding to a desired penetration depth.
By combining with 8c, the penetration depth can be selected.

2, 64 and 66 provide tactile and audible instructions. Each slot 58, 60, 62 and 64 corresponds to one of the point scales 38c. The user has a twist cap 2
Turn one of the catches 46 and 48 into the slots 58, 6
When deviating from one of 0, 62, 64 and 66, the user feels a slight resistance to the rolling action. When further turned, the slots 58, 60, 62, 64 and 66 pass through the catch, and the smooth inner peripheral surface 68 of the twist cap 26 passes through the catch. When the next slot 58, 60, 62, 64 or 66 passes through the catch, the catch will click and snap into the slot and the user will feel resistance to rotation. In this way, the user knows when a certain penetration depth has been reached. As can be appreciated, the penetration depth can be easily adjusted, without adding or removing parts of the puncture device 10 and without changing the pressure with which the puncture device 10 is pressed against the skin of the user. Penetration depth is possible.

いては貫入深さは増大する。The shallower the lance penetration depth, the greater the distance between the surface 28 of the twist cap 26 and the top 42 of the column 40. This distance is the distance between the first and second grooves 54.
And 56 are regulated by the interaction of the protrusions or fingers 47 and 49. As the twist cap 26 is turned, the first and second grooves 54 and 56 move relative to the protrusions or fingers 47 and 49. Because the first and second grooves 54 and 56 are helical, the movement of the grooves 54 and 56 relative to the protrusions 47 and 49 causes the twist cap 26 to
It moves vertically relative to zero, thereby increasing or decreasing the distance between the surface 28 of the twist cap 26 and the top 42 of the post 40. The lance exits the top 42 by a certain distance, so as the distance between the top 42 and the surface 28 increases, the distance the lance exits beyond the top 42 decreases, and when the distance between the top 42 and the surface 28 decreases, The distance that the lance exits beyond the top 42 and thus the penetration depth increases.
